BRAID:
Fasten fringes on hat that are braided.
1 FRINGE: Cut 2 lengths brown yarn of 100 cm / 39½'' each. Place then double and thread loop through 1 st between last round ruby red and first round brown and pull the yarn ends through the loop.
Fasten 1 fringe in every st except the middle 11-12-13 sts mid front on hat. Divide the fringes in 2 parts mid back for 2 braids.
Fasten 1 fringe in off white in front of one part over right ear. Make 1 braid on the one part, tie 1 strand around approx. 5 cm / 2'' from end. Make another braid the same way as the other part, but without the fringe in off-white.
Make fringes for bangs of 20 cm / 8'' and fasten them between each of the remaining sts on same round. Cut the bangs so that the strands are over the edge on hat - cut it in an arch.
